How Military Cadets are Educated In tho
FlOwery KtngdOm.


Nearly three years ago the Chinese
Government, at the instigation of Ii
Hung Chang, decided to establish an
academy for forming a staff, of we'll
instructed native officers. With this
object the first body of Chinese cadets
were brought together and installed in
the office of the admiralty at Tien-Tsin.
This was in March, 1885. and very soon
afterward the construction of sepa-
rate building for them was commenced.
This is now completed, and it is to serve
as the model of similar buildings. one
of which is to be erected in the capital
of each of the eighteen provinces. Tho
academy of Tien-Tsin is situated on tho
Peiho, and occupies q space of moro
than six hundred square yards. 1t is
excellently adapted to the requirements
of such II building, while its architect
ural appearance is in harmony with
the local surroundings. Besides large
number Of reception and dining rooms
and the dormitories, there are four
great lecture halls, two large saloons,
room for military games. another for
Photographed work. and third for
printing, two chemistry halls, and an
apartment for drawing. The building
is capable of accommodating three
hundred students and the administra-
tive staff. On wide plain adjoining
the building are encamped under tents
considerable body of infantry and
artillery. At the head of the corps of
the cadets is II Chinese officer, the
Taotai Yang Tsung Pau. His colleague
is, however, Major Paul., of the Ger

structors are also foreign officers.
chiefly Germans. and the system Of
training is borrowed from the German.
The sons of the upper classes are alone
admitted between the ages of fourteen
and fifteen. At first this rule was not
observed, and there was one instance
of a cadet being as old as tlirty-live.
Each student is expected to remain
four years in the general class, where
he is taught Chinese, writing, foreign
languages. geography and natural
science. After the termination of this
preliminary course he is transferred
for u year to one of the school COM
panics attached to the corps, He then
serves for year with the regular
army, and finally returns to tho
military school for a year instruction
in military science. After passin g
his examination the cadet receives his

ments of the Chinese army Chicago

REALISTIC ADVENTURE.



ollst w. ID. HoweIls. fr.
As the dusk was setting In on a beau
tiful autumnal day about thirty-seven
years ago, man and boy were driv-
ing COW along country road in
Ohio. They had come long distance
and were weary; but though the boy
limpcd, tho conversation did not flag as
they trudged along.
They were evidently not farmers;
both had the appearance of living II
city life, but had they been observed.
the things they were saying, and not
their looks, would have attracted at
tention: for they were talking of Ger
vantes and Shakespeare.
The COW needed much urging, and it
was late Mt night when they reached
some whitc-linbed sycamores beside
the tail-race of a grist-mill on the Lit
tie Miami river, on the other side of
which was the small log-cabin in which
they lived. A question then arose as
to how they should get the COW across.
They did not know the depth of
the water. but they knew it to bo
cold, and they did not care to swim
it. The elder wanted the boy to
run upunder the sycamorcs to the saw
mill, cross the head-race there, and
come back to receive the COW on the
other side Of the tail-i'ace. But with
all his literature, the boy was young
enough to be superstitious, and afraid
of the dark; and though the elder
urged him to 60, he would not force
him. They could see the lights in tho
cabin twinkling checrfully, and they
shouted to those within, but no one
heard them. They called and called
in vain, and were answered only by
the cold rush of the tail-race, the rustic
of sycamore leaves, and the homesick
lowing of the COW. III 84,,4t,,.f
They thea determined to driver her
across from the shore, and then to run
UP to the saw-mill and down the other
bank, so us to catch her rs she reached
it. When they came there. she was mol
to be found, however; she had instantly
turned again, and during the night she
made her way back to the town from
which they had brought her.
The log-cabn was q small one, with
a corn-tield of eighty acres behind it.
and it was nearly Il quarter of CEN
tury old. The boy who entered it after
this adventure was William Dean How
ellis, and the man was his father, who
had recently brought his family from
Dayton to take charge of the saw-mill
and grist-mill on the river. The Incl
dent illustrates the simplicity of the
early life Of one who has since become

ClGARETTE-SMOKING.
A Practice Which, When Carried to Ex

Practice Which, When Carried to Ex-
cess, Results In Death.
1t lis perfectly well known to physicians
that excessive cigarette-smoking does
do great deal of harm. In the first
place, people who smoke cigarettes do
more smoking than those who use cigars
and pipes. If u man is going to leave
his Office to run across the street for a
minute, or is Walking to the corner to
take horse car, he will not light cigar;
he knows it must be thrown away inn
mediately, and sense of economy re-
strains him. But if he is in the habit of
rolling cigarettes, he may take Whit
at any time, and is pretty sure to be al
ways doing it. The result is that where
II non-smoker has the benefit of some
fresh air in the lungs whenever he is
out of doors, the cigarette smoker talk es
in air charged with nicotine.
Smokers of cigars and pipes do not,
as a rule, inhale smoke, but cigarette
smokers do, Why this should be, it is
difficult to say, but it is an acknowl-
edged fact that it is so. 1t is thus easy
to see why the results of cigarette
smoking should be so baneful. The air
in reaching the lungs and the blood
goes through the windpipe and the
bronchial tubes. Between the windpipc
and the lungs the bronchial tubes keep
dividing into two. This incessant sub
division reduces them ultimately to
great tineness. In the lungs they are
scarcely wider than hair. At the end
of each bronchial tube there is what
is called va pneumonia Clio bule. II
is in this globule that the air and blood
meet; it is here that the blood
becomes ''aerated,' or .oxygenized.
In the case of men who inhale
the smoke of cigarettes. these
globules, instead of receiving fresh air
receive air charged with nicotine. l..
order to know the extent to which the
lungs receive the poisoned air it is only
necessary to remember that the area ol
these pneumonia globules is some thou.
sand and two hundred square feet. 1
There is n popular notion that the
paper wrappings of cigarettes do the
mischief. The paper perhaps does burr
the mouth. The wrappers Of some Turk
ish cigarettes are impregnated witt
opium, and these, of course, do harm
but that is not the fault of the cigarette
! The trouble with cigarettes is tina
people will smoke cigarettes at time.
when they will not smoke cigars. anf
that cigarette smokers thus use more
tobacco than other people, and tha
cigarette smokers inhale tobacco ant
take into the lungs mir charged with
nicotine. IN Y. Times, I tIu.

FIRST USE OF GOLD.
How the Soft Yellow Metal Came to I
the Root OF All Evil.

How the Soft Yellow Metal Came to Bc
the Root OF All Evil.
The most interesting question of all
about gold is, how did it come to he the
root of all evilP What has made this
particular yellow metal, above all
stones and minerals, the standard of
value, the medium of exchange, and
the object Of all mems ardent devotion?
In order to solve that curious problem,
we must look ut the origin of it's use
among mankind and the evolution of its
employment rs money. Primitive man.
hunting about in the rivers for fish and
in the forests for venison, had other
wants, philosophers tell us. than those
OF mere vulgar food and drink; the
noble thirst for trinkets, the aesthetic
desire for personal decoration. which
now gives rise to fashion plates and
drapers' shops and jewelers. windows,
was already vaguely alive within his
swelling bosom. He adorned himself
even then with necklets of boars' teeth
and shining fossils and girdlcs of
shell and belts of wampum, all
which things are found, in company
with the white chalk and the red ochre
that made primitive woman beautiful
forever. among the concreted floors of
the Dordogne caverns. Primitive
woman was not fair to outer view, as
other maidcns be; on the contrary, she
was no doubt distinctly dark. not to
say dusky; somewhere about the pre-
else complexion of the modern negress,
her nearest surviving representative;
but already she knew how to keep in
the fashion; she loved gold, as Walpole
long afterward remarked of her remote
descendants, and, when she could get
them, diamonds also. Ages before any
other metals were smelted on manu-
factured into useful implements gold
and silver had attracted the attention
of our savage ancestors, and probably
still more of our savage ancestresses.
There was every reason why this should
be so. They are generally found in the
native state. they have glitter and bril-
liancy and beauty of color; they are soft
and workable and easily pierced; they
can bereadily strung in ingots as beads
for necklcts, and, alta somewhat higher
grade Of culture, they can be hammered
with ease into rude ornaments. Hence
it is not surprising that from very
early age primitive man should have
priced nuggets OF gold and ingots of
silver for personal trinkcts, just rs he
priced the shells and pebbles, tho
garnets and carnelians, the jade and
crystal, the ivory and feathers, from
which he manufactured his rude adorn-
incnts. = CornhiU Magasiae.

correspondent says: "This reminds
us of the saying of an old woman Of

son Johnny wanted to go to the river
fishing, and she said to him when
ready to depart: johnny, don't go
near the river when fishing, for you
are desperate apt to get drowned.
